Taste quiz access
C$0 – C$29
Complete our flavour profile assessment online or at the Lower Water Street studio. The quiz captures brew method habits, past single origin preferences, and sensory notes you enjoy — from bright citrus to dark chocolate body. Results generate a taste profile ID linked to your account for future personalized bean picks. Digital access works nationwide; studio sessions add a brief cupping context demonstration with sample roaster roasts.
Personalized bean picks
C$18 – C$42 per recommendation set
Each pick set includes three beans matched to your profile result, drawn from partner micro-roasteries with verified roast profile charts and cupping score documentation. Recommendations specify grind settings, water temperature, and extraction ratios for pour-over and espresso methods. We explain why each lot fits your flavour profile using direct-trade provenance and processing method context — not generic marketing superlatives.
Roaster partner shelf browse
Free access
Explore the full curated catalogue of partner offerings filtered by taste lane, harvest season, and altitude band. The shelf displays green coffee origin stories, drum roaster batch notes, and artisan roast team tasting notes. Browse anytime; purchase directly through partner links. BrewMasters does not warehouse beans or operate a restaurant-style pickup counter — partners fulfil orders under their own terms.
Seasonal origin alerts
C$12 – C$22 / season
Subscribe to harvest-season notifications when fresh crop lots match your stored palate map. Alerts cover East African arrivals, Central American main crops, and Pacific micro-lot releases from partner roasteries. Each notification includes cupping score previews and suggested brew methods so you can order before limited lots sell through. Alerts respect anti-spam preferences stored under PIPEDA guidelines.
Profile refresh session
C$45 – C$85
Palates shift with equipment upgrades, water changes, and expanded tasting experience. A profile refresh session re-runs core quiz modules, compares new results against historical data, and updates your taste map. In-studio sessions at our Halifax waterfront location include a guided cupping of three roast profile variants on sample roaster batches. Remote sessions use mailed sample sizes from partner roasteries.
Partner roaster consultation
C$95 – C$165
Connect directly with a partner micro-roastery roasting team for deep-dive questions about their green coffee sourcing, roast curve decisions, and batch size philosophy. Consultations are informational — we do not sell roasting equipment or franchise licences. Ideal for home enthusiasts who want to understand how drum roaster development time shapes the flavour profile in their favourite single origin bag.
